Planner for Road trip along EAST COAST (USA)

This summer I took East Coast road trip in the USA. East Coast is amazing with full of history, scenic locations like falls, lakes, forests, beaches and a major educational/ commercial hub of USA. Let’s have a look on East Coast Road Trip Planner in the USA.

Along East Coast

This trip is a round trip starting from New York and ending at New York. There are many itineraries on search engines and travel websites for East Coast trip. After researching I have designed a final itinerary.

We rented a car from New York. Take full insurance and toll pass card to be tension free.

There are two types of road system like with toll or without toll. If a distance is large prefer Toll road as it is much faster, many stopover restaurants and lodging. But if a distance is small then take Toll-free road.

6. Philadelphia to New York

7. Back to New york

If you are taking a full tank then return car in full tank mode, it works like the mode you are taking the car you have to return in that way.

Properly neat and clean car is given to you so keep in mind that do not return dirty car. Wash before returning either manually or on automatic wash areas on fuel stations.

Always take full car insurance to be tension free.

Take toll car reader on rent which is at extra cost around 20$ for 1week, but toll amount is extra because sometimes we have to take TOLL road. This toll amount comes after 2 weeks and is deducted from your credit card.

Per day cost of renting a 4 seater car is around 60-90 $ without fuel.

We are very much fascinated by the road trips in the US there is so much to explore from the historical sites to wonderful natural sites. The road trip along the East Coast trip in the USA sounds fab. New York is high on the list and the Niagara is definitely unmissable. Thanks for these great tips on car renting.

WOW sounds like an epic 10 day adventure and one awesome road trip! Your stops look like they will be very interesting and I cant wait to read more about it. I have always wanted to do a USA road trip so I better save this for my future travels.

I really love that not only did you go to the main cities in the Northeast but you also went to small towns that the majority of population looks over just because it is not as popular. Really would love to go on a road trip throughout the Northeast to see all of the beautiful scenarios you captured through your pictures!

I used to live in New York and Massachusetts so got to see quite a bit of that. But there are plenty of places I didn’t get to visit, like Buffalo, Pittsburg, or Philly. This is a nice itinerary to hit a lot of those spots in a short period of time and I bet it’ll come in handy down the road

Lovely guide! I didn’t realize you could fit in so much in such a short timespan, but it sounds like you hit a lot of great cities. 🙂 Would love to go back to the east coast and hit more than just New York and Washington D.C. We will definitely keep your planner in mind when we do return! Thanks for sharing.

Always wanted to do a proper east coast trip (other than Montreal – New york) This itinerary isn’t bad at all for those that never visited DC and Boston. Was thinking of doing a trip all along to Florida!

Thanks for the tips on renting the car. ..I have never rented one in the US and this sure is useful. I would want to spend more time in NYC, just cos I have heard so much about it. Also, I would love to try out loads of American food…and some good juicy burgers!

I loved East Coast when i went there this Spring. I covered a lot of places that you did. Except for few. It’s a fantastic guide. Wish I had seen it before my visit then I would have not missed even those few places that i missed.

USA is ideal for road trips. I have already heard great things about the East Coast. One of my aunt lives in USA and she keeps calling me there. Maybe I should try a trip soon. Your blog is giving me new life goals. Cheers.

That’s a great itinerary with all the necessary tips and information. We did West Coast couple of years back, East Coast is still to be done. This post will be helpful in planning whenever we do. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I already read the other blog post you had up and commented on there. So I am here commenting on this post. I live in PA so its cool that traveled around here. I’ve only been to Philly once or twice and Pittsburgh once.

The East Coast of the USA makes for an amazing road trip, whether you pick north, south, or Mid-Atlantic like this trip. I can never get enough of New York & Boston–they’re two of my favorites cities in the country, and possibly in the world! So glad you got a chance to check out some of the smaller cities along the way, too.

Road trips in the USA is exciting and this brought back memories of my trip from nyc to niagra falls As you rightly said hiring a car and driving yourself is great way to travel. The tolls however add up quite a bit on the cost but it’s a fun way. It’s great to stop and see cities on your way as well. Some great tips like fuel and pit stops. Thanks for sharing.
